I have uploaded 128 images in BVRI to VPHOT in prep to do the PT for Transformation.  All the images are designated as B, even though the fits headers clearly show B, V, R, I.  Any Suggestions?  Why does this happen?

Did you use the upload wizard?

I have found a bug there - the filter of the first image you select as a test overwrites the filter of the following images.

 

As a workaround you can use the quick upload. You simply select telescope and images, and upload. Leave the filter option blank. You can optionally fill out object name if missing, and so on.

 

Delete the images already in VPHOT before uploading the new set.
